The1916 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place onNovember 7 ,1916 , as part of the1916 United States presidential election . State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to theElectoral College , who voted forpresident andvice president .
In1912 ,Wyoming had been the eighth-best state for embattledRepublican nomineeWilliam Howard Taft .[ 1] Theodore Roosevelt 'sProgressive "Bull Moose" Party rapidly returned to the Republicans, in theMountain States many if not most of these supporters turned to theDemocratic Party not only in presidential elections, but also in state and federal legislative ones.[ 2] Woodrow Wilson was a powerful "peace vote" in the Western states[ 3] World War I , and a third was that a considerable part of the substantial vote forEugene Debs from the previous election was turned over to Wilson owing to such Progressive reforms as theSixteenth andSeventeenth Amendments .[ 2]
Consequently, Wilson was able not merely to hold Wyoming from 1912, but to increase his margin by over ten percentage points to carry the state by 12.87 percent. This is the third best Democratic performance in the history of presidential elections in Wyoming, behindFranklin Delano Roosevelt 's landslide wins in1932 and1936 .[ 4] Carbon ,Converse ,Lincoln ,Natrona ,Niobrara , andWashakie .[ 5] 2024 presidential election [update]
